OREANDA-NEWS. April 10, 2015.

Reasons for delisting the shares of the Company from trading on AB NASDAQ OMX Vilnius

The Board of the Company, taking into account that, in addition to Lithuania, the Company, acting through its subsidiaries, has expanded its activities to and operates also in other EU Member States (in Latvia, Poland, Spain), also seeking to reinforce its positions in these markets and to get well established in new markets, to increase its competitiveness and visibility on the EU scale, as well as to plan and develop the business of its subsidiaries more effectively, suggests to the general Meeting of shareholders of the Company, to be held on 30 April 2015, to approve of the participation of the Company in the formation of the European company (Societas Europaea) by way of merger by acquisition, during which the Company will be merged to its subsidiary City Service EU, AS (a public limited liability company registered in the Republic of Estonia, legal entity code 12827710, address of the registered office J. Kunderi tn 8a, Tallinna linn, Harju maakond, 10121, Republic of Estonia, 100% of shares of which is held by the Company), which will acquire the legal form of a European company (SE). Formation of a European company is planned in Estonia also for the reason that, in the opinion of the management of the Company, this country has an advanced system of management of companies and formation of SE in this country would help to achieve the aims of the Company more effectively and to ensure interests of its shareholders.

For the reasons indicated above, also in order to ensure better liquidity of the shares of the Company and, if necessary, a possibility for the Company to attract more additional capital and investments, the Board of the Company also suggests to the Meeting to initiate admission of shares of the Company to trading on the regulated market the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Consequently, in order to reduce costs for the Company, it is suggested that after the admission of the Company’s shares to trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, they should be delisted from trading on AB NASDAQ OMX Vilnius.
